if you don't think you did any you just did Pride.

Re: 7 deadly sins

But pride, being a defect of nature, by the very act of refusing subjection and revolting from Him who is supreme, falls to a low condition; and then comes to pass what is written: "Thou castedst them down when they lifted up themselves." For he does not say, "when they had been lifted up," as if first they were exalted, and then afterwards cast down; but "when they lifted up themselves" even then they were cast down -- that is to say, the very lifting up was already a fall. And therefore it is that humility is specially recommended to the city of God as it sojourns in this world, and is specially exhibited in the city of God, and in the person of Christ its King; while the contrary vice of pride, according to the testimony of the sacred writings, specially rules his adversary the devil. And certainly this is the great difference which distinguishes the two cities of which we speak, the one being the society of the godly men, the other of the ungodly, each associated with the angels that adhere to their party, and the one guided and fashioned by love of self, the other by love of God.

"The devil, then, would not have ensnared man in the open and manifest sin of doing what God had forbidden, had man not already begun to live for himself. It was this that made him listen with pleasure to the words, "Ye shall be as gods," which they would much more readily have accomplished by obediently adhering to their supreme and true end than by proudly living to themselves. For created gods are gods not by virtue of what is in themselves, but by a participation of the true God. By craving to be more, man becomes less; and by aspiring to be self-sufficing, he fell away from Him who truly suffices him.

Re: 7 deadly sins

Re: 7 deadly sins

I say with PRIDE that I indulge in all. Some not nearly as much as others, but all to the degree that I can absolutely plead guilty to all of the above.

But, I don't believe in the existence of 'God' and 'Jesus' etc. so indulging in those finer points of human nature is meaningless.  Similarly to the others posted. I indulge in them also, in fact a majority of my moments are somewhat absorbed in the more pleasant attributes of human nature.


So who's in the wrong?

Its no fun until someone dies.
Cos I need to watch things die.

Re: 7 deadly sins

the seven deadly sins wernt in the bible in it self but it was put in a way on how to live life these are behaviors that lead to death and suffering both in this world and the spirtual world

Re: 7 deadly sins

isn't sin technically one whole thing not 7 different things? Why can't we just call it sin and be done with it? Why "Oh this is the sin of of Sloth" "This is the Sin of Pride" I, however, do not have the sin of Pride, I have the sin or Wrath. "You got the sin of pride because you said that" You have all the sins to a greater or lesser degree so blah tongue

Re: 7 deadly sins

It was useful and necessary for intellectuals in that era to make lists and catalogs and hierarchies of everything.
and it survives because it is useful as a teaching tool and for ministry.  Sure both you and that rapist murderer are sinners but you have less to work through and if you can cure one constant failing that is better than doing nothing.
